Questions & Answers about Le frigo est presque vide ce matin.

Can I use réfrigérateur instead of frigo? Is frigo informal?

Yes. Le frigo is the everyday, informal word for “fridge” and is extremely common in speech. Le réfrigérateur is the full, more formal term (you’ll see it in manuals, invoices, shops). Both are correct; choose based on register. Older/regional: un frigidaire (brand name used generically), now less common. Plural: des frigos / des réfrigérateurs.

Why is it le frigo, not la frigo?

Because frigo is masculine. It’s short for réfrigérateur, which is masculine, and the abbreviation keeps the gender. So you say le frigo, un frigo, mon frigo (not ma frigo).

Where does presque go? Can I say vide presque?

Put presque right before the word it modifies. Here it modifies the adjective vide, so presque vide is correct. Vide presque is not idiomatic. More examples: presque prêt, presque complet.
